i love your taste in movies, do you have any recommendations for scary movies that are on streaming right now? i just moved and i'm planning to get a library card this weekend but until then i need something to tide me over :)

oh thank you!!! yes! this is just from taking a look around at some of the horror streaming guides i’ve seen online so hopefully these are accurate to which service they’re said to be on!

on netflix:

•train to busan (2016) is an all timer for me that i really think is just a masterpiece. even if you’re a little burned out on zombie media, i still say give train to busan a chance because it does zombies in a way that felt really refreshing and different. the characters in this movie are so well done and it makes me genuinely emotional every time i watch <3

•as above, so below (2014) is such a fun movie like omg….i simply was having the time of my life watching it. really leans into as many scares as it can possibly think of, doesn’t take itself or its subject matter too seriously, genuinely gives me sweaty palms sometimes with the claustrophobia of the paris catacombs. also has the rlly cute guy from cloverfield/super store who i have a big crush on

•some honorable mentions: zombieland (2009) is forever a comfort movie for me, scary stories to tell in the dark (2019) did a genuinely great job imo of adapting the book series, and pearl (2022) is just a great time

on HBO max:

•poltergeist (1982) is an underrated fav of mine <3 weirdly i think of it as like a family friendly horror movie? like i think you could sit down kids in front of poltergeist and they’d generally be okay, which i love and find so compelling in movies that genuinely are scary but also kinda work with younger viewers. feat. the iconic zelda rubinstein

•trick r treat (2007): THEEE halloween movie. its literally a movie ABOUT halloween and about the love of the holiday and the season. genuinely makes me feel so emotional about halloween and the beautiful lovely meaningful holiday it is for so many of us. just a fun campy time, everything ties together in such a clever way, and sam is a little baby. what more could you want?

•honorable mentions: of course the scream franchise (1-4) are classics and so worthy of rewatching, and i’ll recommend open water (2003) because to me it is absolutely terrifying and i find myself thinking about it very often

on hulu:

•the omen (1976) always hits for me. i love this movie and find it so effective in its horror. i LOVE a creepy kid. a bit of the omen trivia: in the final shot, damien wasn’t originally intended to be smiling. he was supposed to look dead ahead at the camera. but the actor was told to be serious and look stern, which made him giggle, so the smile at the end is genuine in that he was trying to suppress a laugh. they kept it because it came across so sinister and tonally perfect in the context of the movie :)

•sea fever (2020) listen no one EVER talks about this movie but i was blown away by it. ocean horror is one of my moms fav subgenres so if we can find a horror movie about the ocean you better believe we will be watching. i thought the concept of this movie and its monster (? if you can call it that) were so fresh and original. compared to its predecessors like leviathan or deep star six, i honestly think sea fever is more effective in its scares

•honorable mentions: hulu has so many good choices! alien (1979) and the fly (1986) are obviously beloved classics for a reason. also if you’re looking for a series, castle rock is near and dear to my heart and is very well done

on prime:

•hell house llc (2015) is another one of those classic Halloween movies to me like it truly is a love letter to the holiday…mwah. found footage is my fav subgenre and this movie does it very well. it has one of the most effective scares that truly took my breath away upon first watch and stuck with me ever since

•10 cloverfield lane (2016): ohhh the cloververse my beloved….i often speak highly of cloverfield (2008) because it’s one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, but i don’t as often talk about 10 cloverfield. not sure why tbh because i love it as well! holy FUCK john goodman is scary in this. it truly sets up a horrifying situation, does so much with a small limited environment, and again john goodman has me shakin in my boots. you don’t have to have seen cloverfield to watch this one! you can watch em out of order no problem

•honorable mentions: of course the thing (1982) is immaculate and gets me every single time. just getting reports right now that lisa frankenstein (2024) is already on prime, HIGHLY recommend, wish i could go back in time to the day i watched this in theaters alone in a new windbreaker i had just thrifted and felt so at peace

honorable streaming service mention: shudder is worth a subscription if you’re wanting to go all in on horror this halloween season. it’s got such a fun eclectic collection and amazing movies like late night with the devil (2024) and series like history of horror

#tried to do a little mix of the more classic recommendations with some that may not come up as often!#out of everything on this list i would honestly highlight sea fever and hell house llc if you’re wanting to branch out #i think watching these smaller and lower budget films is really what partaking in the genre is all about #watching how well people can scare you when you’re least expecting it!#answered #anon

Dear Endrina

I am once again finding myself reading the secret language of plants, and I was wondering.

Are you still writing? Fanfiction, original fiction or others?

I would love to check out other things you are writing (if not already in ao3).

Is there any fanfiction authors your were inspired by for your work? I haven't really found anybody who writes just like you managed to do.

I am a big fan of your work and it always cheers me up reading your stories 😊 thanks for sharing with us all ❤️

Hello, dear.

I am writing, but I am not posting. There are many reasons why: less time, less energy, less fandoms that pique my interest, etc. I won’t detail them all reasons here. I dislike the idea of posting unfinished works so I have nothing to show. I will say that I am working on a collection of (fandom) stories and when I got your ask, I stole a couple of hours to other tasks and wrote 900 words. Nice! Although what started as 7 stories has grown to 16 so I don’t know when they will be ready.

As for other works or authors, funnily enough I had been meaning to write a couple of posts about books, so I will just do it here.

Endrina’s list of very nice books

Quality is subjective so the main criteria here is whether I have re-read these books, whether they had something to drawn me back.

Original fiction

Terry Pratchett.

Every Pratchett fan easily admits that his first books are not very good and that there is no good point to start reading. You simply pick a book, plunge into Discworld, and figure things as you go. Pratchett’s turn of phrase if excellent. Pratchett’s examination of morals is even better. Because it’s fantasy, Pratchett has not been taken seriously. He is too juvenile, too funny, too unserious. But he is also a master at making readers grow a political conscience.

The post I was meaning to write was a comparison between Pratchett’s witches (Weyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, etc.) and some other author’s witches. Ok, it’s JKR, but I didn’t want it to be a direct attack on her or her character. It’s just a comparison of the content.

In Harry Potter the wizarding world is hidden. The reason given is that muggles would be demanding favors nonstop. Later I think it is implied that muggles may be dangerous to wizards. In Discworld, however, magic is perfectly public. People do demand favors from witches (and wizards, but less so) and people are a threat to magical folk. One of the Tiffany Aching’s books (aimed to younger readers, but still excellent) opens with an imprisoned witch about to be executed (she frees herself, of course, by magical and mundane means).

The thought came to me regarding anesthesia use during labor. I am sure that in Harry Potter witches don’t experience pain giving birth, but they don’t share that gift with muggles.

In Harry Potter, magic folk let non-magic folk suffer.

In Discworld, magic folk understand magic as a duty, while accepting that there won’t be thanks or appreciation. If you have the ability to save a sheep, to remove someone’s pain, to make their passing easier, you must do it.

It’s surprising that school libraries would ban Harry Potter and not Pratchett, because he is the one with potential to bring people to the left.

Naomi Novik

How to describe the Temeraire series? They are very good, they have dragons, they are populated by people who feel very real.

The first book is dedicated to building a fantasy world. So cool. So exciting. It would look so nice as an HBO MAX show! They would blunder the second season, but the first season would be excellent.

The next eight books ruthlessly deconstruct the first one. Much like Pratchett, Novik takes an idea and asks, “but how can this work?” and, often, the answer is “by the suffering and exploitation of poor people”. And she (like Pratchett) will drag the answer to the light.

The third book, Gunpowder war, is my favorite because the structure is crisp and neat. Three places, thee different environments, three challenges. You go from movement to arrest and back to movement and afterwards you feel like having completed a videogame.

Agatha Christie

She, like Pratchett, is not considered a “proper” author. I suspect it’s because she is a woman and because her books are accessible. There is this bias against books and stories that many people can enjoy.

Being a British woman born in 1890, her writing does have some ideas that seem outdated, especially regarding foreigners and Jews. But it’s ameliorated by the fact that all her characters are individuals. Each one of them is a distinct person rather than a stand-in for a whole group. So when in Lord Edgware Dies a Jewish woman is described as greedy an ambitious, she is still given enough personality that it seems like a “her” problem rather than a group trait. I don’t want to completely excuse or handwave it. Occasionally there are racist undertones. But they are still way less obvious that many modern works.

For a long time, every October/November I would read one of her novels to get in the Autumn mood, but lately I have found myself reading her “out of season” and wondering why her call was growing stronger. I realized recently it’s because in her books people don’t enjoy killing. Oh, someone is going to die. Perhaps more than one person. But the murderer kills because a) they expect to inherit, b) they are guarding a secret, c) they are in love, d) a variation of the three. They don’t enjoy killing, is my point. They don’t do it for pleasure. There are no elaborate and inventive ways to torture someone and desecrate a corpse. I find that I am very tired of recent trends in which a psycho killer tortures young women and taunts the police.

Also, Christie is very compassionate towards women. Some women are good, some are evil, some are adulteress, some have relations with married men, some get pregnant while single. In the latter case, the tone is more of “it happens” rather than “what a slut”. It is no ideal, it means trouble and social exclusion for the woman, but it happens so Christie doesn’t moralize about it. (And in Hallowe’en Party there is a single mother who is treated as perfectly normal).

I said earlier her characters are distinct individuals. Christie’s strength lies in voicing varied psychological profiles. Her two main detectives (Poirot and Marple) read as asexual (no matter the forced heteronormative that TV/movie adaptations try to push). Poirot also is a clear case of OCD and… it’s fine. That’s how he is. There are also some great ADHD characters. There is whatever was going on Ms MacGinty is dead. The main suspect is clinically depressed or something, I don’t remember well.

People are varied and allowed to be weird, and I love it.

(Occasionally, a couple of lesbians will pop. Sadly, because these are murder mysteries, one of them may die. But it doesn’t read like a Bury Your Gays trope)

Miguel de Cervantes

This one is not like the others because there is a lot of scholarly work about Cervantes. So much so that he is taken as a Very Serious author when, in fact, he is Pretty Funny. Think lines like “thus came a man riding a donkey, although it may had been a mule, there is no consensus regarding the animal, except it was probably grey of coat. The man was carrying a basin on his head.”

Having some political and cultural context helps to enjoy Don Quixote, but it is not a sine qua non requisite. For English, I like Grossman’s translation.

(Also, this is almost never mentioned: Miguel de Cervantes and his brother were suspected in the murder of a high class nobleborn who was a known sexual harasser. And it shows. There is a chapter in DQ that could very well be titled: Incel Culture, let’s not).

Fanfiction

Astolat

Astolat’s stories follow the pattern of the Common Man falling for the Enlightened Man. This tickles something deep in my brain and I love it.

The Common Man may not be so common. He may be a renowned warrior. He may be a hero. He is only common when opposed to the Enlightened Man (who may be a woman, like Brienne of Tarth, fantastic). The latter is someone with their third, fourth and fifth eye open. Someone who understands magic and, what’s even more difficult, morality. Someone who knows. What they know may vary, but the knowledge is there and with it a certain sense of being removed, of not fitting in the world. So they are surprised to attract the desperate interest of the Common Man.

Other things to like: clever construction of plot, deep and surrounding worldbuilding with just a couple of strokes.

Owlet

Her Bucky (MCU) series is fantastic, but the first work, This, you protect is particularly good. It is funny, it is healing, and it’s an interesting example of how to enthrall people. Most fanfics have sex, it is almost a requisite. Some readers will reject a story if the promise of hot scenes isn’t there. Well, This, you protect doesn’t have sex. It has coffee concoctions and grilled cheese sandwiches, and they are so satisfying that you won’t even notice there is no sex.

Scaramouche

I haven’t read her latest works (I am bit tired of the MCU and Steve/Tony doesn’t work for me) but I have read her previous work, specially the Supernatural fics, and enjoyed them thoroughly. The setting of her stories is imaginative yet familiar. No matter how alternative the AU is, it always feels natural and real, as if she had been a long time there and knew every place and every aspect.

The hoyden

Her DP9 and XMen fics read like silk. I don’t have another word. They are delicate and soft and they flow. They feel luxurious.

Cornbread (1)

Killmonger x pregnant!reader / part one

Warnings: None, just super fluffy, and in this AU, Erik’s father never left Wakanda but he did pass at the same time as in canon, Erik just grew up surrounded by the rest of his family instead

As you looked amongst your closet, the growing mound on your front told you that most of your clothing wouldn’t properly fit you anymore right now. Carrying your fiancé’s big headed baby boy had given you enough reason to buy larger sized clothing ahead of time. Of course, most of the clothes you wore were Erik’s, seeing as he was almost an entire foot taller than you.

You reached your hand inside and pulled out one of Erik’s Nike tech outfits, the much larger size telling you that as long as you didn’t spill anything on it, and your baby didn’t suddenly decide to come two weeks early and have your water break whilst sitting on the couch, Erik wouldn’t be upset once he saw you in it.

Said man had already taken his leave to go to work, a job you knew very little about but didn’t care to know much. You had your dream Cadillac in the garage and subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and Disney+ and more than enough good food in the kitchen. Whether it needed to be made or even just removed from the packaging, you couldn’t be happier with the selection. Erik always made sure you had your favorites, which at the time were goldfish crackers, plantain chips, ice cold water from your preferred refillable water bottle, and your soon-to-be Auntie-in-law’s homemade cornbread, which Erik would either take you to get personally from her in Wakanda or he would go get himself.

For a royal family that could have any chef they desired and any food they could ask for at their finger tips, Queen Mother making cornbread always seemed to brighten your mood no matter what.

As you looked in the fridge for your cornbread, you looked at the container the cornbread was in had been gone, and taking a quick glance at the sink, you knew exactly why.

‘You ate the last piece of cornbread?!’ You sent to your fiancé’s phone, fingertips typing ten words a second at how furious you were becoming. How dare he! Taking the last piece of cornbread he knew you loved and knew he wouldn’t have time to get for another few days due to work. How dare he taken something quick to eat in his late morning that you had wanted first!

After five minutes passed of you staring at the message sitting on “delivered”, it finally changed to “read 11:27am”.

‘…’

‘Babygirl, there was only one piece left.’ He replied, having deleted and retyped his message three times as the dots had told on him.

‘That was my last piece! Now there isn’t anymore and I want some! When can we get more?’

‘Maybe Thursday, (Y/n). I don’t know, I shouldn’t be talking right now, okay? I’ll get you your cornbread.’

You glared at the message and simply put a ‘thumbs up’ on it in reply, letting out a long groan of frustration before putting a hand over your belly, in your act of anger, you had forgotten to actually get something to eat. Getting up with a huff, you trudged to the kitchen with much less gumption that you had before. Pulling the box of Lucky Charms cereal from the cabinet and the oat milk from the fridge, you made yourself a quick bowl of cereal, leaving everything out by you as you knew you would want another few bowls.

An hour or so later, still saddened by the lack of cornbread as you munched on the bland tasting plantain chips you had beside you. The mediocre game show on screen made you cringe, it was obvious the contestants were guessing wrong on purpose to the easiest questions just to make the episode hit its target screen time. It annoyed you to no end, but seeing as you binged all your shows and wouldn’t dare taint your mind’s taste buds by risking a new show or movie, you settled.

Out of boredom, you decided to treat yourself, you were cornbread-less, patience-less, and had what the doctors assumed to be a seven to eight pound baby in your belly. Wakanda was only a short ten hour trip by flight, and practically 30 minutes if you could convince your cousin-in-law, Princess Shuri or King T’Challa to send a jet to your house.

You had always known about Erik, well, N’Jadaka, Erik simply being the name he took undercover when he came to America where he met you. You figured out pretty quickly he was the prince, shaving his beard, contacts and a switch from locs to a fade didn’t do as much disguising as he’d hoped, not from you anyway.

You kept his secret while you both attended MIT, as long as he promised to help you pass your physics and trigonometry courses. Aside from numbers and formulas, those weren’t the only things you were happy to take with you once you graduated.

Now having dated four years and being eight months pregnant, with a beautiful 4 carat engagement ring on your finger, and a very strong bond between your fiancé and his family, it wasn’t exactly uncommon for your pregnant self to call the princess and king if you needed something while Erik was at work.

Dialing Shuri’s kimono beads with your own she’s given you, it was almost immediately she answered, a large smile on her holographic face.

“(Y/n)!! It’s great to hear from you!! How are you and my nephew? Sleeping okay? Resting? Eating well?” She cried, the background of the hologram showing she must’ve been at work in her lab.

“Hello, Shuri, I’m doing very well thank you, M’Jabe too. Erik ate the last piece of Queen Mother’s cornbread this morning and I was hoping I’d be able to come get more? It’s really been the only thing keeping me—“

“Right away! I’ll speak with cousin later but for now you come here!!” Shuri interrupted, an interruption you couldn’t care less for as it meant you’d be getting what you wanted. “The jet will be there in ten minutes, shall you pack a bag and stay the night again?” She asked.

You’d stayed the night last month, having had phantom contractions that had easily convinced you that you were in labor. Seeing as it had been another four weeks since then, it was obvious you were wrong. Knowing you still had two weeks before your due date, you deemed yourself perfectly fine not to stay long, especially with how busy the royal family were already.

“No, Shuri, but thank you, I’ll stay again in a week or two since M’Jabe will be due then.” You assured her. She nodded solemnly but smiled. “That’s fine, but the next sleepover I’ll be meeting my nephew so I’ll be looking forward to that!”

You let out a laugh and nodded. You and Shuri continued to talk until the jet arrived, having put on a jacket to combat the nipping mid October weather and a pair of fuzzy slippers you loved. Okoye met you at the top of the stairs into the jet, giving you a smile as you walked in, lending you a hand up the steps as you used the other hand to hold your belly.

“Enkosi, General.” You smiled as she nodded and helped you to a seat.

“Of course, (Y/n), it’s good to see you’re doing well, I’d hoped you would with prince N’Jadaka.” She replied, earning a laugh from you and your son who kicked your kidney in agreement. God he wasn’t even born yet and he was heavy handed like his father.

The ride to Wakanda was short of course, and for good reason, you could only feel your drool escaping your lips as you nearer the great castle, as if smelling the cornbread being made already.

Erik called you after you landed and we’re being escorted inside.

“Why are you in Wakanda?” He asked almost immediately after you answered.

“I wanted my cornbread.” You replied matter-of-factly.

He let out an audible sigh. “You’re a trip..” he let out a soft chuckle before it turned into a light laugh. He loved your attitude, and his ability to tame it. “Don’t worry, Babygirl, I’ll be there soon. Tell Auntie and the other two I said hey.”

You smiled and walked along the long hallways with Okoye, her simply going about her duty alongside you. You couldn’t tell if she was just a master of not showing her opinions through her face, or if she truly tuned out your conversation. It didn’t really matter to you.

“Okay, baby, I’ll see you when you get here. And I forgive you for eating my cornbread.” You smiled, rubbing your belly gently.

He let out yet another laugh, but this one came from his gut, he truly found you amusing and that’s one of the things he truly loved about you. You loved his laugh as well.

“Thank you for forgiving me baby. I won’t touch your cornbread again.” He said in defeat, you could hear the smile in his voice and it made you blush. God, even after four years he could make you giggle like a school girl.

“Get here soon, me and M’Jabe miss you lots..” you admitted. Curse your pregnancy tongue.

Erik noticed the small difference in your tone, how sad you suddenly became at the thought of him being so far away. He hated doing that to you, no matter what his duties were. Of course, him working was to provide for the human you both created that was only days away from coming along. You and your baby were his priorities and everything else came second, so as much as he’d want to spend hours and hours tending to your pregnant form and giving you all the treatment you deserved, being able to stay with his family was the next best thing.

“How about you stay in Wakanda until my son comes along?” He asked you, knowing you had already discussed how you wanted to stay in the comfort in your own home until it was time. But you also knew that he was worried about that plan, what if you went into labor and he wasn’t home or couldn’t make it home, he’ll be damned before you had to take yourself to a rinky dunk hospital that charged almost 100k just for birthing the child and even just holding it afterwards, before the baby was born of course.

You went silent for a bit to think it over, you knew what he was worried about but also knew what you wanted. Being hormonal and pregnant, missing your fiancé who couldn’t be there for what you knew wouldn’t be another two hours, and in a castle you hadn’t spent more than a week at a time in, tears welled in your eyes.

You quickly wiped them away and did your best to hide the sudden spiral in your voice.

“How about we talk about that when you get here, baby, I don’t wanna make any decisions without looking each other in the face.” You said, mustering a smile.

Erik nodded, he knew that would make you feel better.

“Alright, baby, that sounds good. I’ll talk to you then, okay? I love you.” He finally said.

“I love you back..” you replied, hanging up the phone and letting soft tears fall as you made it to the thrown room.

Face to face was how you liked to handle things anyway. That how you got M’Jabe to be two weeks away to being in the world anyway.

Well… maybe not two weeks.

Judith Light, Menu Spin-off

I love Judith Light and I love her in the film The Menu (Now available streaming on HBO Max). But she's not in it THAT much because she's not the main character.

This my pitch for a movie that takes place partly before and then concurrently with The Menu.

Spoilers, obviously.

It's a film about being complicit in bad things (tw: rape tw: incest) and seeking forgiveness.

I'd start with the daughter (CLAIRE, early 20s, red hair, faraway look) and maybe some sad scenes of her and Judith Light together. Judith doesn't know what is wrong. Then the daughter commits suicide. Casting suggestion for CLAIRE: Milly Alcock

Hard cut to the events of "The Menu".

HUSBAND (other actor) and ANNE (Judith Light) are on the boat and then walking to the Hawthorn island. They talk about how she doesn't really like this restaurant. But imply they are throwing away the money that would've been Claire's college tuition away. Claire was going to go to grad school. But now, sadness.

ANNE sees MARGOT for the first time and stops in her tracks. (Margot and Tyler do not see them.) For a second she sees CLAIRE on the island. Maybe some specific memory about Claire (about restaurants?).

[Possibility: All the flashback scenes with CLAIRE are set when she and ANNE are at a restaurant together.]

[Possibility: Claire wanted to be a counselor for victims of sexual violence. Maybe she wanted to tell her mom about some statistics regarding sex workers and her mother is like "please don't talk about hookers at the dinner table, dear." Maybe about how many sex workers were victims of incest? ]

[Possibility: Claire thinks her parents don't tip service workers enough or treat them well.]

[Possibility: The "PERRY" Anne mentions she saw is actually a friend of Claire's. He tried to warn Anne something was wrong with Claire. Husband thought he was crazy.]

ANNE points out MARGOT'S resemblance to Claire later, as they walk along the beach and HONG CHAU points out the fisherman. HUSBAND acts very offended. She is nothing like Claire. But he also inwardly realizes that is the escort he has been hiring.

Through the evening, ANNE comes to realize she turned a blind eye to her husband molesting her daughter. Need to do a lot of research on child abuse an incest. Varying degrees of complicity in incest from spouse (from outright knowing to having no idea). Talk to survivors. Try to get this part right.

She didn't "know" because she didn't want to know. Seeing him on the tortillas with a girl who looks like their daughter--obviously a sex worker because she is not feet in front of her with another gross man.

She admits to herself that the husband was molesting the daughter and that he does deserve to die definitely. She starts to begin to think she should die because she failed to protect her daughter. Depending on above research she could have flashbacks to various ways parents of abuse victims shut down the victim from speaking. From telling her not to tell, what will the neighbors think? to times Claire might have said something and Anne didn't want to hear it.

Eventually Anne starts to realize she deserves to die.

Something about her not remembering what they had to eat the last time they went to Hawthorn. She suggests cod as what they ate. THE CHEF says it was halibut and the differences "matters to the Halibut." Something about this strikes a chord. (The Halibut is dead not the cod?)

[Possibility: Anne realizes HONG CHAU doesn't like MARGOT and is relieved when she brings back the barrel. Tie to some flashback.]

Ultimately, she fully admits to herself that the husband was molesting the daughter and feels like she has failed her daughter.

THE CHEF'S talk of how the fire will make them pure is moving to her. She wants to be forgiven.

[Possibility: Some symbolic reason why MARGOT successfully talking her way out of death is like CLAIRE getting what she wanted out of life.]

[Possibility: ANNE more active in MARGOT'S escape than we saw in film? Speaks to THE CHEF? Confuses HONG CHAU or SOUS CHEF in some way?]

ANNE sees CLAIRE in the flames.

Anon’s brother just reminded me of an episode of his podcast where they talked about tv shows and what kind of shows they want or something like that. Or was it an interview of his? Either way, it got me wondering, I wonder what he and like Gale and the rest of the cast thought about the reboot of QAF. I mean personally I was against it especially once I heard it was kind of inspired by Pulse. But i wonder if they had any thoughts. But this then made me think of the reboot QAF and the UK version and I wonder what anon’s brother would say about that. If he doesn’t know about it yet but from the looks of it QAF US is the only version in his world.

Hello dear sweet anon! That’s a good question. I didn’t watch the reboot and, from what my fandom friends have told me, it was an okay show, just not… queer as folk. Like maybe it would have been better to call it something else and do an “inspired by.” I would love to hear what Randy and Jordan thought of the reboot. And in some magical universe where Gale comes on the podcast as a guest or something, hear his thoughts.

I don’t know if our beloved anon told her brother about the history of Queer As Folk at all. It seems like, to keep the experiment pure, she hasn’t told him anything about the show and will wait until after 513 to tell him anything (although she gave him the gift of Randy’s podcast after S4). But we absolutely must honor the original Queer As Folk and the incredible mind of Russell T Davies for creating the concept.

Funny story. My friends and I decided to start watching Doctor Who and, in the US, HBO Max (err Max) starts with Ninth Doctor and then Ten. So I’m watching and I’m watching and each episode credits Russell T Davies and eventually I start to wonder “why does this feel so familiar?” So I naturally google him and OF COURSE he created QAF and OF COURSE the reason his name looks so familiar is that he is credited on every episode of QAF US. This thrills me to no end. And of course I had to scream at my friends who just gave me blank stares because this means nothing to them. The same blank stares I got when I started babbling about my favorite drag queen being on the 60th anniversary doctor who. Sometimes being multifandom is a gift. ;)

Please tell us more about the Infinity Train KHUX AU, I'm VERY curious.

I would be very glad to do this dear anon!!!

First off, for those who don't know what Infinity Train is: Infinity Train is a cartoon anthology series based around solving your problems and growing as a person. The gist of it is if you have any problem that would usually be solved via therapy or something the train just shows up and abducts you basically.

You wake up with a number on your hand that will go up or down depending on your personal growth, and the size of the number is dependent on the severity of your problems. The goal is to get your number down to zero so that you can go back home. while on the train you venture through various train cars filled with random worlds that shouldn't be able to exist in reality.

You, as someone who got on the train and as someone who has a number, are a passenger. The creatures that live on the train are called denizens. Denizens can join you on your journey of self-growth and help you out.

Infinity Train is a great series that deserves a 5th season and if you are interested in watching it you can find the whole thing on HBO Max, or you can pirate it or something. idk. Just be warned it WILL emotionally destroy you, be prepared.

Now onto the actual au

I'm still figuring out the details of how the au will go/the fine details of it, so this is all subject to change lol.

In the au currently Skuld and Ephemer both find themselves stuck in the Infinity Train and decide to team up with each other to try and get off. They are joined by a little stuffed cat denizen named Chirithy! In this au they didn't know each other beforehand, maybe. Still figuring that part out.

Ephemer is really the only character who I've got a solid reasoning for why they're on the train. See, Ephemer's childhood best friend, Player, died recently, and he has not been coping very well. Because of all his built up grief and him blaming himself for not being there for Player, the train shows up for him and he gets on it out of a want to get away from all his grief.

He wakes up in a Car where everything is super large, like he's been shrunk. Think the wonderland world from khux. After panicking he runs into Chirithy, who is NOT supposed to be there. Chirithy isn't quite show how it got there, and after explaining the whole situation to Ephemer asks for his help in getting back to its home. Ephemer, still confused, agrees and they find the exit to the car.

The two meet Skuld in the next car over, which ends up being some creepy abandoned lab type car. (like I said, the cars can be literally anything). Ephemer is wandering around the car looking for an exit when he is all of a sudden attacked by a ghom. A ghom is something in Infinity Train that are a bit like heartless? They're these weird black cockroach-dogs that suck your life force and kill you.

Chirithy panics because "Ghoms aren't supposed to be on the train! They're only supposed to roam the outside wasteland!" and doesn't know what to do, being a foot tall stuffed cat against a dog sized rabid creature. Ephemer is struggling to fight it off when Boom! Skuld comes in with a lead pipe she had pried off the walls! Before Ephemer can process what just happened, Skuld grabs him by the hand and sprints to the exit door, with Chirithy in tow. The three manage to get out relatively unharmed.

Skuld explains that she had woken up in that car and heard Ephemer struggling with the ghom, so without thinking she just attacked the thing. Chirithy explains the whole train deal to Skuld and, despite hesitance from Skuld, they decide to team up and get off the train together.

Now, Skuld's reason for being on the train is still a bit iffy, but I want it to have something to do with her isolating herself from everyone else after someone close to her abused her trust. She's built walls so high that nothing could penetrate them, but unluckily for her Ephemer is willing to climb.

The roles of the other dandelions are still unclear to me, I'll probably decided at some later point so we'll stick a pin in that for later. I'm thinking about having the au being an anthology, just like the actually show. Season one focuses on Ephemer and Skuld, and season two focuses on Lauriam, Ven, Elrena, etc.

Brain is the only one I have an idea for. Brain in this au is pretty morally gray, think his early update personality. Nobody knows why he got on the train, nor how his number got so high (Skuld thinks he murdered a couple people). He shows up now and again with the explanation that he's trying to get to the engine to meet the conductor, though that's where it ends. He's been on the train for years at this point and he's convinced that getting off the train would be a lost cause. He's an anti-hero who likes to mess with the protags.

And that's all for now! feel free to ask me anything else about the au lol. I ramble a lot

#ask rosie a question!#anon ask #long post #kingdom hearts #khux #kingdom hearts union x #infinity train au #infinity cross #kh ephemer #kh skuld #skuld #ephemer #kh brain #brlaine #kh chirithy #chirithy #hoo boy did this get long winded #sorry if some parts don't make sense I am sick

Dear CBS:

I heard you guys were thinking about doing an American version of the BBC Comedy Ghosts. As a both an American and a fan of Ghosts, I have a few thoughts. While most of the fans think that it’s a bloody horrible idea, I see potential in it. While through HBO Max and other websites, Americans can view Ghosts, having a right side of the road version of Ghosts can introduce us former colonists to the wonders that is Ghosts, IF DONE RIGHT.

Let’s look at the Office. BBC’s the Office was a good show and all but the NBC American version took the Office to a whole new level. While I want American Ghosts to be successful, I don’t want it to overpower it’s British Counterpart like what the Office did. I just want it to be good that the American viewers can become interested to the superior British version.

Okay so Ghosts concepts, DON’T DO THE SAME TIME PERIODS AS THE BRITS! Instead of like a WWII soilder and an early 19th century poet, do like a Native American, revolutionary war soilder or Civil War soilder, Gilded Age Millonare or second wave immigrant, an early news reporter, some businessman from 1929, a late 1960s hippie or some teen from like 2004.

For actors, I know it’s unlikely to get the Original Cast in this so I found some good American counterparts. Ben Schwartz, he’s just amazing and underrated (see Jean Ralphio in Parks and Rec). Kate McKinnon, she can play anybody (literally). And John Mulaney, he is perfect for this role, (I’m thinking early 20th century journalist) and he could be a head writer for this show. Another writer and maybe actor for this show could be...

ME!!! While I just finished High School, I took a year of theatre and Creative Writing 2, so I’m qualified. I’ve also posted some great BBC GHOSTS content which has been liked and reblogged by many Ghosts fans. These are some of my favorites, this one, this beauty, a crossover post but the main reason.

So yeah CBS please message me so we can discuss ideas

-thanks, O

Review: “’Love Life’ is fantastic, and Anna Kendrick has never been better”

“The success of Boyd’s writing team is enhanced by a gripping performance from Anna Kendrick that will vault her into the Emmy discussion. Kendrick’s career-defining performance is more than enough reason to invest in HBO Max.”

Read here, or below. (Mild spoilers)

©: Dewey Singleton

Love Life perfectly captures the fears, hopes, the pitfalls, roadblocks, and promise of a woman’s search for the “one.” It is a remarkable accomplishment for series creator Sam Boyd and his writing team of Bridget Bedard and Brigitte Liebowitz. Many comedies have attempted this before, and almost all fail. It’s understandable because of the full range of emotions the comes with courtship. The success of Boyd’s writing team is enhanced by a gripping performance from Anna Kendrick that will vault her into the Emmy discussion. Kendrick’s career-defining performance is more than enough reason to invest in HBO Max.

The series follows the life of Darby Carter and her journey from first-ever love to her last love. Love Life also brilliantly shows it is the people and experiences along the way, which shape us into being ready to accept true love. Where this series separates from a show like Sex and the City is how deep and authentic the littlest moments come across on screen. With each moment of romance in Darby’s life and subsequent heartbreak comes emotional baggage, which Kendrick conveys as the series unfolds. For Ms. Carter, getting over a guy isn’t as simple as hooking up with another.

Each of the episodes is structured around either a guy Darby dated or a person who shaped her. These moments also represent a period in her life. The first episode was when she dated Augie Jeong during her early 20’s which represented a moment in her life where she didn’t know what would happen from one moment to the next. Darby ends up putting all her eggs in that relationship rather rapidly which results in heartbreak. That experience taught her the need to take some responsibility for the direction of her life which lead her into the arms of her recently divorced boss. She learns at the moment and older/stable man isn’t necessarily a better man. It seems that with each episode who Darby truly is and who she wants to become.

While the episodes about Darby’s ex-boyfriends are lovely, this show wouldn’t nearly be as engaging without touching on her relationship with her best friend Sara and the adversarial relationship with dear old mom. Love Life isn’t about Darby’s quest for Love it’s about her evolution. How can you find true love if you can’t accept being loved?

Anna Kendrick is at the top of her game in Love Life. This is a role she was born to play and a story I can only envision her telling. The supporting cast is solid as well, but Zoë Chao stands out more so than the others. Chao plays Darby’s best friend Sara, who seemingly has everything together at the beginning of the series, but like anything, things change. That dynamic plays a massive role in who Darby becomes and where Sara is headed.

Love Life is incredibly engrossing and heartfelt. These characters pop off the screen in a manner that was unexpected. Boyd’s words rope in the audience and allow for bonds to be created with these characters, which only intensifies our feelings as we experience this journey and what a wonderful one it was.

2018 In Review

So, another year has passed.

ANYONE else felt this year just flew by like a rocket? I remember when I was a kid, my parents or other adults always spoke of the furious passage of time as an adult, but, HOLY FIRE ROASTED TROUTS!, it felt that I sneezed and I’m already at the end of the year. It didn’t help that this year was a garbage fire.

I was pretty disappointed in myself this year. I set some pretty lofty goals, and unfortunately, I fell short on every single one.

BOOKS

I only read SIX BOOKS out of my 100 book Challenge on Goodreads. Some might think this was a big undertaking but I’m a pretty voracious reader, and last year I exceeded my list reading sixty books. So excluding comics and graphic novels,

This is what I read

1)End of an Era by Robert J. Sawyer

2)A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline D’Engel

3)Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolfe

4)Twin Peaks: A Final Dossier by Mark Frost

5)The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton

I had a few books that I’m still reading

Congo by Michael Crichton

Red Raptor by Robert T. Bakker

Sphere by Michael Crichton

The Serpent’s Secret by Sayantani DasGupta

Firebrand (Steeplejack Series) by A.J. Hartley

What Happened by Hilary Rodham Clinton

Aquaman: 75 Year Celebration by DC Comics

Green Arrow: 75 Year History by DC Comics

Ghostbusters: Ultimate Visual History by Daniel Wallace

I’m pretty disappointed in myself in not reading as much, but, honestly, I just didn’t have the energy this year. Every time I would start reading, my mind would wander with e5ith anxious thoughts or life stuff and I LOVE reading and don’t really want to sleepwalk through reading. I want to enjoy and be immersed into whatever reading, so instead I put the books down :(

Next year, I’ll hopefully do better.

I had a very overwhelming list of TV series that I either wanted to watch for work, entertainment or just to keep up with Peak TV and pop culture.I planned to watch all of my unwatched series on Netflix, so I could write an article on the overwhelming dump of Netflix original content. I fell short. Here is a list of all the tv, from everything I was watching weekly, to the series I had started but haven’t finished, unwatched series, upcoming series I’m interested in and everything I finished.

VIDEO GAMES

This year, I intended to play more videogames, and while I finished Firewatch, which turned out to be one of my favourite games of the last decade and a great first person adventure game to boot, I again, bought many games I never finished including Stardew Valley, The Adventures of Willy Beamish, Inherit the Earth, Lighthouse: The Dark Being and Bioshock.

Many other games including personal faves, Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango, Curse of Monkey Island, Escape from Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge: Remastered Edition I bought but either haven’t had the time or interest to replay.

Others such as Shivers, Ecco The Dolphin, The Dagger of Amon Ra: A Laura Bow Mystery, and Broken Sword, I just didn’t have the energy to start.

I’m hoping next year to at least finish five games.

EZEKIEL CONFRONTS CHALLNGE

If you’ve been following me on social media, you know this year, I really want to dig down and confront fears or personal biases on things I deemed embarrassing or nerdy such as conventions, D&D, Magic:TG, WOW (World of Warcraft) and rewatching all of the Star Trek series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, as well as watching series such as SeaQuest:DSV, Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 for the first time.

Ezekiel Watches Star Trek

I really ENJOYED rewatching Star Trek. It was such a big part of my early childhood watching TNG with my parents and I LOVED DS9 and enjoyed Voyager, so getting to go back was such a delight and reignited my love for these series and made me want to proudly wear them as a source of pride rather then a blemish of embarrassment., I’m sad I wasn’t able to watch all seven series of each of the three series, but I’m halfway done Season 5 on TNG, DS9 and Voyager that hopefully I can finish all series by the end of Jan 2019.

Ezekiel Watches SeaQuest, Battlestar and Babylon 5

I never watched SeaQuest DSV as a kid, despite my LOVE of the ocean and exploration, again due to embarrassment and wanting to be cool. I’ve watched the first season, there are three in total, and despite a few problematic areas *cough* poorly written female characters *cough* I really liked the potential of the series and a few of the characters.

With both Battlesar and Babylon 5, I only watched the Pilots of both series and while I enjoyed them, I didn’t have nearly enough a sample to know if I’ll enjoy them. Hoping to watch more of each as well as finish the last two seasons of SeaQuest next year.

Ezekiel Plays WOW

I’ve never played WOW (or had any interest). For a decade, my two younger siblings have tried to bully me into playing but it wasn’t until my friend, Kelly, started playing with her husband, that I wanted to share something that had become important to her. I don’t know I’d continue if Kelly stopped playing but so far I’m enjoying myself. I didn’t expect to enjoy (mainly it’s Kelly), she’s an EXCELLENT guide and is very good with going slow with me and teaching me about the world and its rules and not making me feel stupid or a burden.

PERSONAL GOALS

This year was my hard, my debut novel that was supposed to get published this past November, had an issue with my publisher and now its release is TBA, I feel like a failure, and my main priority of 2019 is getting the novel that I’ve worked on for five years PUBLISHED!

I wanted to lose twenty five pounds and start working out more to feel better, less sluggish and work on my mental health.. In this area, I succeeded, lost the weight I needed, and walked 3 km every day from May to late September. I need to work out more but I don’t feel as bad that didn’t happen.

I didn’t write as much as I wanted both for work and personal. I didn’t have as much published pieces as I’ve had in previous years. A lot of it was that my mental health was low throughout the year, and I had too many days off due to feeling depleted and exhausted .

I also didn’t work on the short stories much that I want to compile in a short story anthology that I want to self publish on Amazon and E Book. Again, I just need to push myself and write every day like I used to.

That being said, I’m really excited to go into the New Year and do better :)

BEST OF 2018

Two awesome things happened this year, I got my cat, Cheriden that was a rescue from my friend’s parent’s acreage, and he’s honestly the best part of my life right now. I had a cat, Sneaky, who was a tabby, when I was little but I’ve always wanted an animal that was a companion, that would come for snuggles and follow me around. Cheriden was made for me, sometimes he’s too needy but he’s improved the quality of my life so much.

in 2005, I found a website, Isle of Coloden that was run by Kelly, who seemed just as weird as me and I admired her for her openness when blogging was such a new thing for me, I always thought she was a cool, and pathetic as it sounds, wanted to be her friend.. Last December, my ex, suggested I tell her how much she helped me through a difficult time in my life, when I had lost my girlfriend, I was initially reluctant but I did and Kelly and I started chatting, she is now a co-host on my pod, Pop! Fishbowl, has helped me with WOW and I’m so glad to have such a caring, unique, opinionated person in my life.

For Christmas, she surprised me and bought me the first two seasons of Disney’s Gargoyles (Pretty much the complete series IGNORE Season 3!!!), which was such a delightful, thoughtful gift that came during a very tumultuous stressful week

and today I was again surprised to see I always made her best of 2018 list :) Shut up, I’m not smiling, YOU ARE! :) XD

TO 2019, AND BEYOND

Going into the New Year, I want to get my book published, figure out my two book deal so I get started on the next two that make up the trilogy, continue walking/working out both physically and mentally, finish my tv list, read at least 50 books and try to get short stories published in journals/magazines as well as play five video games.

In regards onto my website, Culture Gecko, I want to work on more local pieces in both Saskatoon and my other home, Vancouver. Interview local art7ist7s, business owners, report on news and current events.

Fingers crossed, you guys!

What Just Happened??! (FOX)

Creado y producido por Fred Savage (The Wonder Years, Friends from College) junto a Dave Jeser y Matt Silverstein, guionistas de Life in Pieces o The Cleveland Show, es un aftershow -talk show emitido después de una serie para comentar el episodio- de The Flare, thriller de ciencia ficción dirigido por Jon Cassar (24, The Orville) y adaptación de las novelas de TJ Whitford, de las que Savage es fan, en las que un acontecimiento relacionado con el Sol provoca efectos en la Tierra, y más concretamente en el pueblo obrero de Milford, Illinois, y poco a poco desemboca en una batalla postapocalíptica por la supervivencia humana. El programa, presentado por Savage y la comediante Taylor Tomlinson (The Comedy Lineup) y dirigido por Carrie Havel (Talking Dead), contendrá entrevistas a actores, visitas al set y discusiones con fans. Quizás cabría comentar que ni los libros ni la serie existen y que el guion de este falso talk show estará escrito por Abbey McBride (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Alone Together), Edgar Momplaisir (Great News), Chase Mitchell (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), Agathe Panaretos (Chelsea) y Sean O'Connor (The Late Late Show With James Corden). Nueve episodios. Estreno: 30 de junio
